I asked a similar type question in the solaris forum but i think this relates closer to networking. I am trying to setup a small NIS environment that is contained within a large company network. The client machines are getting an IP from the companys' Windows DHCP server. The NIS server has a static IP. The domain I setup is "unixnis". The FQDN is unixnis.saco.cu.edu. The clients that are obtaining IP addresses from dhcp have a FQDN as computername.saco.cu.edu. Notice the domain i created and that they should be members of is not in the list. I know im missing some basic networking concept can someone help me out?

Thanks
